      News was received here this morning of the death at Blanch
      N. C. of James G. Mitchell, age 75, widely known farmer in
      Caswell county and a leader in his community. He was seized
      apparently while he slept with a heart attack for he was
      dead when found. Death apparently took place at about last
      midnight. He had not complained of being ill recently, it
      was said. The funeral is to be held tomorrow afternoon from
      the residence, interment to be made nearby.

      Mr. Mitchell suffered the loss of his wife many years ago
      but he is survived by the following children: Mrs. Mattie
      Mitchell, Danville; Mrs. W. T. Powell, Blanch, N. C.; Mrs.
      Cullen Bryant, Milton, N. C.; Miss Lady Mitchell, Raleigh,
      N. C.; Mrs. T. O. Pinchback, Raleigh, N. C.; Charles
      Mitchell, Blanch; John Mitchell, Washington, D. C.; and J.

      He also is survived by two brothers Robert Mitchell, of
